Spring Arrives 10 Weeks Early in Neenah — March 17, 2010
In this part of Wisconsin, we generally wait until after memorial day before we plant anything to avoid the danger of frost. We normally see signs of growth in our yard underway well before this date. Today is 3/17/2010, with a recent streak of warm weather, I started seeing many signs of spring in the yard. Hopefully we won’t see any weather that damages this early growth, but it is certainly possible being in this part of Wisconsin.
? When can you plant where you live?
I built a free little tool for exactly this question — The Garden Almanac. Type in your ZIP code and it gives you your USDA hardiness zone, your average last and first frost dates, and a planting calendar tuned to your spot — when to start seeds, set out transplants, and sow. It runs right in your browser, no account needed. Find your frost dates & planting calendar →
